Just started - The Dead Virgins - by Kevin Ashman. So far I'm really impressed. I bought it because it was...ahem...free and the historical part sounded good. Exceeding my expectations to date, can't wait to get back to it.

Have you read the "Dreamers" series?

My libarary does not have the "The Belgariad" ebooks but they do have "Dreamers" - figured i would give that a try and if i find that enjoyable i would fork over the money for the series you are quite enthusiastic about

Yes, and I'm afraid I think it's just awful. I love Eddings's work, but that series, which was the last thing he wrote, is a real stinker.
Interestingly, I was sure that he was talking about Dreamer by Steven Harper, first in his Silent Empire series. Now *that* was a very good SF series.

The fourth book is quite good too, but as you mentioned its way far into the future. I knew there was going to be a 5th, glad to hear it will be here next year.
With "trilogy proper" I don't mean to put down the fourth book; I haven't read it so I can't judge. I'm glad that it's a good start to, what I assume will be, a new sub-series inside the Mistborn series.

I'm now 65% in and I can't help but wonder how everything will be solved by the end, he keeps introducing new things, some explain the world but others thrown up new questions.

Which was excellent. I really liked the two main stories.


Next up: a freebie that caught my eye: The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox.

Not too promising as yet, but I'll give it a bit longer.

Just finished Colin Dexter's inspector Morse Service of All The Dead. Quite enjoyable, looking forward to reading more.

I loved Sarah Caudwell's Thus Was Adonis Murdered, and the rest of the series. I re-read them periodically- some of the passages have me laughing uproariously. They are literate, clever, droll and wonderful.

I loved it beginning to end. I even found myself reading slowly because I was savoring the wit and didn't want it to end. I don't remember a funnier book.

I finished Barbara Pym's Excellent Women, and it was excellent, quite funny.

For example (echo of Crampton Hodnet)

"In the train we read the school magazine, taking a secret pleasure in belittling some of these Old Girls who had done well and rejoicing over those who had failed to fulfil their early promise."

Good book. Scared the bejasus out of my wife.

Currently reading the third Sandman Slim novel, Aloha From Hell by Richard Kadrey (as recommended by @CWatkinsNash). Lots of fun as Slim heads back to hell...

I enjoyed it enough to purchase #2 immediately afterward. It was the biker-grandma thing that hooked me! (Being of the grandma persuasion.)

Reading Sarah Hoyt's A Few Good Men. A sequel to Darkship Thieves and Darkship Renegades. Sadly, this series which started so very promisingly with Darkship Thieves has gone downhill since and this one is not encouraging for the rest that are to follow. I may finish it, but I can't recommend it, and won't be buying later ones.

I wasn't too impressed with Terry Goodkind's new book The Third Kingdom. I don't know, after 12 or 13 books the series might be starting to drag on for me. There just wasn't enough action to keep me that interested. I still like the characters, but the story just wasn't that good. I'm glad I borrowed from the library instead of paying $13.99

I think I'm in the mood for romance, so I am going to read Canyon & Hidden Pleasures by Brenda Jackson.
